Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2015)

Monday, 8 June 2015 • 09:00 – 18:00

WS-26: Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA)

Organizer: Jaime Lloret Mauri (Universitat Politècnica València, Spain) and Joel J. P. C. Rodrigues (Researcher of Institute for Telecommunications, University of Beira Interior)

The 4th IEEE International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2015) promotes the research on the design, development, analysis and optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of artificial intelligence methods and techniques to communicate the network devices in order to transfer data between them. The organizers of the workshop will introduce technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested for the workshop have been discussed in terms of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications.

WS-26-01: Keynote: Smart Communication Protocols and Standards for a Smart(er) World

Room: ICC Capital Suite 9

Chair: Jaime Lloret (Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain)

The last few years we have experienced a massive reference and research on Internet of Things (IoT) that connects people, (big) data and things by employing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications. The obvious targets are to create new and unprecedented opportunities as well as to provide richer Quality of Experience (QoE) to citizens and communities. The talk will provide specific technical details and applications of IoT and M2M as well as their impact on enterprises and individuals by focusing on the hot areas of Smart Cities, Smart Grid and Smart Home. Furthermore, an inclusive picture of standardization initiatives and activities will be provided, focusing on the emerging IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.15.7 and IEEE 802.11 networking protocols as well as on the on-going work of the recent IEEE Research Groups on IoT Communications & Networking Infrastructure and on Software Defined & Virtualized Wireless Access. Along the talk, major research challenges and open issues will be identified, therefore making the presentation valuable and inspiring for academics and researchers. Actually, the ultimate target of the talk is to stimulate discussions between the audience about smart communication protocols and technologies that can be utilized towards a Smart(er) World!
